Hi Yabert

Who is that guy "professor??" - what a cack handed way of doing things!

When I took my Volt pack apart I started by removing the bus bars - that way there was no high voltage anywhere (45 v)

The new modules are higher volt - taking the service plug out gets to two 170 v halves but the next thing to do is to take the busbars off cutting the beast into smaller safer lumps

This "Professor" takes all sorts of other things off first

Still it's an impressive looking battery

Very detailed and informative set of videos.
I see now why EVs and Hybrids are so expensive...they are hugely complex.
No one will ever convince me that an EV is likely to be any more reliable than a modern ICE !

I don't think that you have taken a new car apart lately!

Gone are the old days of a few wires and a carburettor - now everything is digital electronic

New IC cars are insanely complex! - much more so than EV's

You almost had me believing that you were serious about IC cars being more reliable - then you said "diesel Land Rover" - and I realised that you were just being facetious
